1990 Map of Lick Creek

About this map

Wallowa National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where the confluence of several protected zones creates a complex network of administrative and physical boundaries. The 1990 survey captures the transition between the Eagle Cap Wilderness and the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area, punctuated by topographical landmarks such as Wing Ridge and the Imnaha Divide. This terrain is defined by its drainage systems, notably Big Sheep Creek and its many tributaries like Little Sheep Creek and Owl Creek. Human activity is recorded in the specialized infrastructure of the forest, including the Dick Creek Guard Station and the Zollman and Wells Mine. Natural water sources like Vayside Spring and Mud Spring are identified, serving as critical points in an area largely characterized by steep ridgelines and deep canyons such as Echo Canyon.
